One Church

One Church

Come take part in the conversation as we continue our “One” series. Each week we are joined by a guest from another area church as we explore the faith we all share and our experience serving our communities. In today’s message, Pastor Douglas Michael of All Saints Anglican Church shares from Ephesians 2:14-18, his heart and his experiences about what it means to be one church in our local community, region and beyond.
